Friend,

Before running for Congress, I remember my inbox getting flooded with desperate, hair-on-fire emails from other Democratic campaigns.

To be honest, I hated them. The deadlines always seemed arbitrary, and they were often full of obnoxious scare tactics. In my opinion, Democratic donors have plenty of real reasons why they should support our cause. Exaggerating the stakes is counterproductive.

That's why I told my team from the start that we would do things differently. Yes, the stakes are high. And yes, this probably leaves a few dollars on the table compared to the nonstop barrages from some organizations you know. But we won't feed into the same panic that's caused distrust and dysfunction over the years.

So today I want to give it to you straight. We have two days until our next deadline of my reelection campaign at midnight on April 30th. Showing strength right now is critical, and the good news is my team tells me we're getting close!

I'm not going to scare you into supporting us, but I do hope you'll send in a donation of $3 or more to help us meet our goal.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Here's a fact about our campaign: The *vast majority* of our contributions come in online and on emails just like this one. We don't have billionaires and big special interests backing us the way our opponents might. So when I say we're counting on your support, I truly mean it!

Thanks in advance for your support,

-Eric
